Parse Single Cell Grant – Apply Now

Single Cell Grant - Apply Now

Submission Deadline:
February 20 - 11:59 PM AEST

Understanding single-cell biology at the whole-transcriptome level is critical for mechanistic insight in cancer and complex biology. Generating robust proof-of-concept data ahead of a grant cycle or biotech pitch can be the difference between progress and delay.

Decode Science, in partnership with Parse Biosciences, is offering a Parse Single-Cell Grant to support researchers across Australia and New Zealand.

What the Grant Supports

Successful applicants will receive support to assay up to 100,000 single cells across 12 samples, including sequencing.

Parse Biosciences’ Evercode™ technology enables scalable single‑cell RNA sequencing with high transcript capture—without specialised hardware—making it suitable for both new and established single‑cell labs.

What's Included

  1. Parse Evercode™ WT single‑cell kit (up to 100,000 cells) & one cell or nuclei fixation kit for up to 12 samples

  2. Sequencing included

    1. 20,000 reads per cell

    2. Sequencing costs covered by Decode Science and SAGC

  3. Application and experimental feasibility review by Parse Application Support

Application Requirements

Applicants must submit an abstract (maximum 300 words) outlining:

  1. Experimental objectives

  2. Sample type and number

  3. Expected cell count per sample

  4. Plans for scale‑up and projected throughput

Key Dates

  1. Abstract submission deadline: 20 February 2026

  2. Internal application review: 20 February – 6 March 2026

  3. Winner + 5 consolation prizes announced: 9 March 2026

  4. Orders to be placed by: 25 March 2026

  5. Kit delivery completed by: 10 June 2026

    What we’ll cover:

    1. Overview of modern single-cell sequencing approaches

    2. Details of the Parse Biosciences grant program

    3. Eligibility and evaluation criteria

    4. What makes a strong grant application

    Attendance is strongly recommended for anyone planning to apply, as the session will include important guidance and updates related to the application process. A recording will be available for registered participants.

    Registration is free.

    Smash the limits of single cell sequencing with Parse

    Smash the limits of single cell genomics.

    Join us to learn about Parse’s single cell whole transcriptome technology and recently launched Evercode V3 Kits. More cells, more samples, more clarity.

    Combinatorial barcoding technology strips away the limitations and frustrations of yesterday’s single cell approach. It ditches the specialized instrument, freeing you to pursue unprecedented discoveries. Unleash the potential of single cell. Decode Science and Parse Biosciences invite you to a seminar discussing the advances in fixation-based single cell transcriptomics including our V3 chemistry, TCR/BCR kits, CRISPR Detect and Gene Capture.

     

    MEET THE SPEAKER

    John received his PhD at Duke University, where he studied cis-regulatory element activation during limb regeneration. He then spent a few years as a postdoc at the University of California, Merced where he studied early organ formation using single-cell genetic and epigenetic approaches. As a Field Application Scientist at Parse Biosciences, John assists scientists with their single-cell genomics experiments, from experimental design, sample preparation, single-cell library workflows, data analysis, and more.

    John’s favorite model organism are zebrafish, both embryos and adults. In his free time John enjoys eating spicy food, and dabbles in growing his own hot chili pepper plants.
